Previously we believe it was necessary for all code that required ports
to use freeport to prevent conflicts.
https://github.com/dnephin/freeport-test shows that it is actually save
to use port 0 (`127.0.0.1:0`) as long as it is passed directly to
`net.Listen`, and the listener holds the port for as long as it is
needed.
This works because freeport explicitly avoids the ephemeral port range,
and port 0 always uses that range. As you can see from the test output
of https://github.com/dnephin/freeport-test, the two systems never use
overlapping ports.
This commit converts all uses of freeport that were being passed
directly to a net.Listen to use port 0 instead. This allows us to remove
a bit of wrapping we had around httptest, in a couple places.
* A GET of the /acl/auth-method/:name endpoint returns the fields
MaxTokenTTL and TokenLocality, while a LIST (/acl/auth-methods) does
not.
The list command returns a filtered subset of the full set. This is
somewhat deliberate, so that secrets aren't shown, but the TTL and
Locality fields aren't (IMO) security critical, and it is useful for
the front end to be able to show them.
For consistency these changes mirror the 'omit empty' and string
representation choices made for the GET call.
This includes changes to the gRPC and API code in the client.
The new output looks similar to this
curl 'http://localhost:8500/v1/acl/auth-methods' | jq '.'
{
"MaxTokenTTL": "8m20s",
"Name": "minikube-ttl-local2",
"Type": "kubernetes",

"TokenLocality": "local",

A Node Identity is very similar to a service identity. Its main targeted use is to allow creating tokens for use by Consul agents that will grant the necessary permissions for all the typical agent operations (node registration, coordinate updates, anti-entropy).
Half of this commit is for golden file based tests of the acl token and role cli output. Another big updates was to refactor many of the tests in agent/consul/acl_endpoint_test.go to use the same style of tests and the same helpers. Besides being less boiler plate in the tests it also uses a common way of starting a test server with ACLs that should operate without any warnings regarding deprecated non-uuid master tokens etc.
* Implement endpoint to query whether the given token is authorized for a set of operations
* Updates to allow for remote ACL authorization via RPC
This is only used when making an authorization request to a different datacenter.
This way we can avoid unnecessary panics which cause other tests not to run.
This doesn't remove all the possibilities for panics causing other tests not to run, it just fixes the TestAgent
This PR is almost a complete rewrite of the ACL system within Consul. It brings the features more in line with other HashiCorp products. Obviously there is quite a bit left to do here but most of it is related docs, testing and finishing the last few commands in the CLI. I will update the PR description and check off the todos as I finish them over the next few days/week.
Description
At a high level this PR is mainly to split ACL tokens from Policies and to split the concepts of Authorization from Identities. A lot of this PR is mostly just to support CRUD operations on ACLTokens and ACLPolicies. These in and of themselves are not particularly interesting. The bigger conceptual changes are in how tokens get resolved, how backwards compatibility is handled and the separation of policy from identity which could lead the way to allowing for alternative identity providers.
On the surface and with a new cluster the ACL system will look very similar to that of Nomads. Both have tokens and policies. Both have local tokens. The ACL management APIs for both are very similar. I even ripped off Nomad's ACL bootstrap resetting procedure. There are a few key differences though.
Nomad requires token and policy replication where Consul only requires policy replication with token replication being opt-in. In Consul local tokens only work with token replication being enabled though.
All policies in Nomad are globally applicable. In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management.
Unlike Nomad, Consul has legacy baggage in the form of the original ACL system. The ramifications of this are:
A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system.
A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system.
The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode.
So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators. This process is detailed more in the "Transitioning from Legacy to New ACL Mode" section below.
- Improve resilience of testrpc.WaitForLeader()
- Add additionall retry to CI
- Increase "go test" timeout to 8m
- Add wait for cluster leader to several tests in the agent package
- Add retry to some tests in the api and command packages
* agent: consolidate http method not allowed checks
This patch uses the error handling of the http handlers to handle HTTP
method not allowed errors across all available endpoints. It also adds a
test for testing whether the endpoints respond with the correct status
code.
* agent: do not panic on metrics tests
* agent: drop other tests for MethodNotAllowed
* agent: align /agent/join with reality
/agent/join uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* agent: align /agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} with reality
/agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* fix some tests
* Drop more tests for method not allowed
* Align TestAgent_RegisterService_InvalidAddress with reality
* Changes API client join to use PUT instead of GET.
* Fixes agent endpoint verbs and removes obsolete tests.
* Updates the change log.
* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.

When the metadata server is scanning the agents for potential servers
it is parsing the version number which the agent provided when it
joined. This version number has to conform to a certain format, i.e.
'n.n.n'. Without this version number properly set some tests fail with
error messages that disguise the root cause.
The default version number is currently set to 'unknown' in
version/version.go which does not parse and triggers the tests to fail.
The work around is to use a build tag 'consul' which will use the
version number set in version_base.go instead which has the correct
format and is set to the current release version.
In addition, some parts of the code also require the version number to
be of a certain value. Setting it to '0.0.0' for example makes some
tests pass and others fail since they don't pass the semantic check.
When using go build/install/test one has to remember to use '-tags
consul' or tests will fail with non-obvious error messages.
Using build tags makes the build process more complex and error prone
since it prevents the use of the plain go toolchain and - at least in
its current form - introduces subtle build and test issues. We should
try to eliminate build tags for anything else but platform specific
code.
This patch removes all references to specific version numbers in the
code and tests and sets the default version to '9.9.9' which is
syntactically correct and passes the semantic check. This solves the
issue of running go build/install/test without tags for the OSS build.
The error handling of the ACL code relies on the presence of certain
magic error messages. Since the error values are sent via RPC between
older and newer consul agents we cannot just replace the magic values
with typed errors and switch to type checks since this would break
compatibility with older clients.
Therefore, this patch moves all magic ACL error messages into the acl
package and provides default error values and helper functions which
determine the type of error.
